Immune to the vagaries of fashion and the march of inflation, Bintang hasn't changed its kitsch interior - or its prices - in years. Sandwiched in a run-down row of shops, its tiny dining room is a hospitable jumble of bamboo cladding, tribal masks, lanterns and fairy lights. The pan-Asian menu is equally esoteric, with mains ranging from lemongrass-infused curries to laksa; the star turn is whole baked sea bass for under a tenner. Starters are less inspired, and often deep-fried: prawn toast, pakoras, spring rolls and the like. The modest proces and BYO policy mean the place is often overrun with raucous parties; if the decibels become unbearable, head to the basement or retreat into the garden.
